About product

Tela Grigio Verde - uniform cloth in a gray-green tone

The name of the shade describes both the object and the color: tela is cloth, grigio verde gray-green. It is a water-based acrylic paint from the Lifecolor figure range, that is a shade built for small areas and thin coats, not for the large areas of vehicles.

Why the tone is so subdued

The gray-green and khaki fabrics of the First World War period lie in a narrow band of brightness and saturation. On the palette the shade therefore looks unassuming, and that is exactly its purpose. On a figure in a small scale a markedly saturated green behaves unconvincingly, whereas a grayed tone holds the impression of worn cloth.

Shading with a small step

  • The base in two thin coats, so that the folds stay legible.
  • The shadow from the same tone with a drop of brown or a darker gray-green, never with black.
  • Shift the highlight only a step; an ocher or sandy admixture is plenty.
  • Blend the transitions with a damp brush before the coat begins to set.

Who the color is for

It will be appreciated by figure painters who paint figures from around the First World War and want period cloth without exaggerated contrast. It goes well with the leathers and khaki tones of the same range, because all of them sit in the same subdued band, so the transitions between areas hold together. It also serves where a scene has several figures and the individual uniforms are meant to differ by a shade and not by a whole color world.

Store out of the reach of children and ensure a supply of fresh air while painting.

FAQ

Tela is Italian for cloth, grigio verde for gray-green. The name therefore describes gray-green uniform cloth.

Period fabrics lie in a narrow band of brightness and saturation. A subdued tone reads convincingly on a figure; saturated greens do not.

Best of all with itself plus a drop of brown or a darker gray-green. Black creates a jump on a small area that is distracting.
